Om mig

I am a Researcher at the Swedish Institute for Social Research at Stockholm University and at the University of Turku.

I received my Ph.D. in Sociology in 2019 and my habilitation (Docent in Demography) in 2023, both at Stockholm University.

In my current project, I analyze new trends in partnering, fertility, and population processes in the Nordic countries (Funded by the Swedish Research Council, Grant 2020-06426).

I am interested in population theory, fertility, family partnering regimes, kinship, and household structure in historical and contemporary societies.

Mismatch: En ny förklaring för nedgången i samboskap i Norden

Samboende partnerförhållanden minskar i Finland och i Sverige. Detta är särskilt påtagligt bland mindre bemedlade individer. Varför ser vi en sådan utveckling? Detta projekt använder ett perspektiv som skiljer sig från tidigare förklaringsmodeller, och föreslår att förändringar i könsfördelningar påverkar andelen samboende par i befolkningen.
